1
Let not many
of you become
teachers,
my brethren,
knowing
that as such we will incur
a stricter
judgment.
2
For we all
stumble
in many
ways. If
anyone
does not
stumble
in what he says,
he is a perfect
man,
able
to bridle
the whole
body
as well.
3
Now
if
we put
the bits
into the horses'
mouths
so
that they will obey
us, we direct
their entire
body
as well.
4
Look
at the ships
also,
though they are so great
and are driven
by strong
winds,
are still directed
by a very small
rudder
wherever
the inclination
of the pilot
desires.
5
So
also
the tongue
is a small
part
of the body, and yet it boasts
of
great
things.
See
how
great
a forest
is set aflame
by such a small
fire!
6
And
the tongue
is a fire,
the very world
of iniquity;
the tongue
is set
among
our members
as that which defiles
the entire
body,
and sets
on fire
the course
of our life,
and
is set
on fire
by hell.
7
For every
species
of beasts
and birds,
of reptiles
and creatures of the sea,
is tamed
and has been tamed
by the human
race.
8
But no one
can
tame
the tongue;
it is a restless
evil
and full
of deadly
poison.
9
With it we bless
our Lord
and Father,
and with it we curse
men,
who have been made
in the likeness
of God;
10
from the same
mouth
come
both blessing
and cursing.
My brethren,
these things
ought
not to be this way.
11
Does a fountain
send
out from the same
opening
both fresh
and bitter
water?
12
Can
a fig tree,
my brethren,
produce
olives,
or
a vine
produce
figs?
N
or
can salt
water
produce
fresh.
13
Who
among
you is wise
and understanding?
Let him show
by his good
behavior
his deeds
in the gentleness
of wisdom.
14
But if
you have
bitter
jealousy
and selfish ambition
in your heart,
do not be arrogant
and so lie
against
the truth.
15
This
wisdom
is not that which comes down
from above,
but is earthly,
natural,
demonic.
16
For where
jealousy
and selfish ambition
exist, there
is disorder
and every
evil
thing.
17
But the wisdom
from above
is first
pure,
then
peaceable,
gentle,
reasonable,
full
of mercy
and good
fruits,
unwavering,
without hypocrisy.
18
And the seed whose fruit
is righteousness
is sown
in peace
by those
who make
peace.
